The One

I was watching Ever After the other night - one of my favorite movies - and I always thought the lines exchanged between Prince Henry and Leonardo da Vinci were interesting:

Henry: Do you really think there is only one perfect mate?

Leonardo da Vinci: As a matter of fact, I do.

Henry: Well then how can you be certain to find them? And if you do finally find them, are they really the one for you or do you only think they are? And what happens if the person you're supposed to be with never appears, or she does, but you're too distracted to notice?

Leonardo da Vinci: You learn to pay attention.

Henry: Then let's say God puts two people on Earth and they are lucky enough to find one another. But one of them gets hit by lightning. Well then what? Is that it? Or, perchance, you meet someone new and marry all over again. Is that the lady you're supposed to be with or was it the first? And if so, when the two of them were walking side by side were they both the one for you and you just happened to meet the first one first or was the second one supposed to be first? And is everything just chance or are some things meant to be?

I know time and again a lot has been written and said about the subject of The One. because how do you ever really know? Or what if you're so scared you'll never find The One that you settle for the first person who comes along and end up miserable for the rest of your life? I wonder how many people that has happened to. I don't think anyone has got it all figured out yet, and I certainly do not, nor do I think anyone ever will. Personally, I believe The One exists for every single person on this planet, and I think that the passage of time in the relationship doesn't matter, you can be together a month or a year and you know if the person you are with is The One or not. I don't know why you would stay with someone for a year if they were not The One, but whatever. Some people just aren't ready for grown-up relationships and that's fine too. That was not intended to be a jab at Adam in anyway, but honestly after everything we went through, he just wasn't ready for the intensity that came with our relationship. I think with him I really, really wanted him to be The One, but deep down I knew it just wasn't happening and he really wasn't meant for me. That doesn't mean we will ever stop loving each other, but the love is changing now that we have both found the relationships we were meant to be in. Well, I have at least, I know he can do better than Ashley, he can do waaaaaay better. I will even help him find someone better than her, gross. This rant doesn't have entirely to do with my current relationship situation either, it is just something some people and I were talking about at work the other day in addition to me watching the movie. I do, however, know that I am butt-crazy in love with Drake and can definitely admit it any time, any where. At this point however, that is all I am willing to admit on my blog, because after all, Blogs Are Lame. I was just wondering what other people thought of this subject because I know there are definitely many varying viewpoints.
